I elaborate on the tension between Luhmann's social systems theory andHabermas' theory of communicative action, and argue that this tension can beresolved by focusing on language as the interhuman medium of the communicationwhich enables us to develop symbolically generalized media of communicationsuch as truth, love, power, etc. Following Luhmann, the layers ofself-organization among the differently codified subsystems of communicationversus organization of meaning at contingent interfaces can analytically bedistinguished as compatible, yet empirically researchable alternatives toHabermas' distinction between "system" and "lifeworld." Mediation by afacilitator can then be considered as a special case of organizing historicallycontingent translations among the evolutionarily developing fluxes ofintentions and expectations. Accordingly, I suggest modifying Giddens'terminology into "a theory of the structuration of expectations."
